handle is hein.gao/gaoqso0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: 2TechJV, LLC--Costs File: B-420960.7 Date: August 27, 2024 Samuel S. Finnerty, Esq., Katherine B. Burrows, Esq., and Patrick T. Rothwell, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. Jose Otero, Esq., Virginia K. Ackerman, Esq., Christopher L. Sanders, Esq., and Joshua L. Caplan, Esq., Department of Labor, for the agency. Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Request that GAO recommend reimbursement of protest costs is granted in part where the agency unduly delayed taking corrective action in response to clearly meritorious protest arguments, and denied in part where other protest grounds were not clearly meritorious or where the agency took prompt corrective action. DECISION 2TechJV, LLC, of Woodbridge, Virginia, requests that we recommend the Department of Labor (DOL) reimburse the firm its reasonable costs of pursuing its protest of the issuance of a task order to Addx Corporation, of Alexandria, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) 1 No. 1605TA-22-Q-00044. DOL issued the RFQ for services that support the operations and maintenance of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) information system (0IS). The protester argued that the agency's conduct of discussions was misleading, that the agency's evaluation of technical quotations was unreasonable, and that the agency's best-value tradeoff analysis was flawed. 1 Throughout the record, the agency refers to both proposals and quotations and generally refers to the firms as offerors. Our decision refers to quotations and vendors, except when quoting the record or procurement law or regulations; use of one set of terms rather than another is immaterial to the analysis of the request for reimbursement.
